takes advantage after contract expires

Reviewed March 21, 2013

The rates they offered during the 2 year contract were priced very well. Just before the contract was up, I received a letter notifying me that the contract was expiring. They said that my rates wouldn't be locked in any longer but would still be very competitive. Bull$**t! Any money I saved over the 2 year period, i lost and then some within the first 2-3 months my rates were variable. It also takes another 2-3 months to get switched back over to PSE&G. So in the 5-6 months I've been stuck with them I've been screwed.

Beware of extra monthly charge!

Reviewed Dec. 12, 2012

I had a 12-mo. contract with Spark. As soon as it expired, the next month's bill had a "base monthly charge" of $4.95. I don't recall getting ANY information or disclosure from Spark that this would occur.
I am immediately switching to another supplier.
